Ice Scoopz: Wednesday Afternoon

*-> Jere Lehtinen is still deciding whether or not to play another season he told the Dallas media. The Stars still have interest in the defensive Finn but only if the price is at a discounted rate. Lehtinen said he'd make a decision on his career next week after he meets with the Dallas brass.

*-> The Atlanta Thrasher management has admitted to speaking with free agent Lee Stemniak as he'd like to add one more forward to the roster. They also said they'd be happy with giving a youngster a shot as well. Stemniaks main interest is still stemming from the Coyotes but a battle over terms is still holding a possible deal back.

*-> The Tampa Bay Lightning have resigned pesky forward Steve Downie to a 2 year deal worth 3.7 million which works out to 1.85 million per year. Downie has been a key part in the rebuilding of Tampa Bay and the development of Steve Stamkos. Stamkos and Downie are best of friends which adds to their already dynamite chemistry.
